Maybe same guy. He moved on to Greece to find oil, no luck......A renewed effort began in 1938, this time led by A.W. Chellis, a Greek-American. Chellis went on to spend more than two decades hunting for Greek oil, starting in western Thrace. Later, Chellis began exploring the Peloponnese Islands before making a new attempt to find petroleum in Zakynthos in the late 1950s.

Guess it's to late to Pre-order one. Guess I'll stick with my Geiger counter.

Nor worry about any "laws" in regards to "Metal Detecting"
